Overall Satisfaction with Planday

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Planday is a great tool for employee time tracking & scheduling! It really helped me streamline the scheduling process and manage time off requests and availability of my my team.

Overall a great product for small business owners to keep their team coordinated, timely and informed!

Alternatives Considered

Deputy, TimeClock Plus and QuickBooks Time (formerly TSheets)

Ultimately Planday is the perfect tool for simple straightforward team time management, communication and scheduling. I would like to see a task management feature added to Planday and perhaps some integration for employee rewards. Planday is leaps and bounds above Quickbooks Time, and TimeClock Plus but falls behind Deputy only slightly by having less features available. Overall I would recommend Planday to any small business owner with a team of 5-20!

Likelihood to Recommend

Planday is a wonderful first step in organizing team management, such as mass communication, scheduling, time off requests, and centralized timesheets. I used it for my retail business and found it to be extremely helpful in communication with my team and keeping track of everyone scheduling needs in one place. As we grew, I noticed a need to assign tasks, which would be very helpful for larger companies or businesses with daily tasks that need to assigned to specific team members, departments, or shifts.
